COURSE DESCRIPTION: As healers we are good at helping patients toward wellness, and many of us are so other-focused that we exhaust ourselves helping everyone while ignoring our own bodies’ messages to pay attention to self-care. This course will focus on the common stressors we encounter in our personal lives and while working in the health field as an aquatic professional. Learn to be more aware of your mental and emotional reaction to stressors, and how this reaction feels in the body. Examine strategies and skills to manage and lessen the negative physical impact of stress. Learn relaxation and holistic wellness practices for the purpose of creating better balance, health and awareness in your career. We will develop your own personal wellness plan to become a healthier and more effective practitioner.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1) Identify attitudes and choices we make that result in poor self-care behaviors.

2) Discover simple methods to become more attuned to the wisdom and language of your body.

3) Develop practical skills for personal stress management.

4) Devise methods to incorporate self-healing practices into your busy schedule.
